Descripción

“Gutenberg” is a codename for a whole new paradigm for creating with WordPress, that aims to revolutionize the entire publishing experience as much as Johannes Gutenberg did the printed word. The project is following a four-phase process that will touch major pieces of WordPress — Editing, Customization, Collaboration, and Multilingual.

Following the introduction of post block editing in December 2018, Gutenberg later introduced full site editing (FSE) in 2021, which shipped with WordPress 5.9 in early 2022.

What Does Gutenberg Do?

Gutenberg is WordPress’s “block editor”, and introduces a modular approach to modifying your entire site. Edit individual content blocks on posts or pages. Add and adjust widgets. Even design your site headers, footers, and navigation with full site editing support.

Each piece of content in the editor, from a paragraph to an image gallery to a headline, is its own block. And just like physical blocks, WordPress blocks can be added, arranged, and rearranged, allowing users to create media-rich content and site layouts in a visually intuitive way — and without workarounds like shortcodes or custom HTML and PHP.

We’re always hard at work refining the experience, creating more and better blocks, and laying the groundwork for future phases of work. Each WordPress release includes stable features from the Gutenberg plugin, so you don’t need to install the plugin to benefit from the work being done here.

Early Access

Are you a tech-savvy early adopter who likes testing bleeding-edge and experimental features, and isn’t afraid to tinker with features that are still in active development? If so, this beta plugin gives you access to the latest Gutenberg features for block and full site editing, as well as a peek into what’s to come.

Contributors Wanted

For the adventurous and tech-savvy, the Gutenberg plugin gives you the latest and greatest feature set, so you can join us in testing and developing bleeding-edge features, playing around with blocks, and maybe get inspired to contribute or build your own blocks.

¿Tengo que usar el plugin Gutenberg para tener acceso a estas características?

Not necessarily. Each version of WordPress after 5.0 has included features from the Gutenberg plugin, which are known collectively as the WordPress Editor. You are likely already benefiting from stable features!

But if you want cutting edge beta features, including more experimental items, you will need to use the plugin. You can read more here to help decide whether the plugin is right for you.

Gutenberg has its flaws, but it has great potential and, most importantly, it doesn’t burden a website the way external page builders do. I’ll take the opportunity here to promote my free plugin that improves the UX of the block editor – BlockUX Workflow. It’s available in the WordPress repository. Wishing you efficient website building!

As a web developer with over 12 years of experience, I have worked extensively with builders like Elementor and WPBakery. For a long time, I honestly believed Gutenberg was inferior and overly limited compared to traditional page builders. That perspective completely changed once a client specifically requested a WordPress website without Elementor or WPBakery. Because of that requirement, I finally gave Gutenberg a serious chance and started building with a custom theme and modern block-based workflows. Today, I can confidently say that Gutenberg is by far the most thoughtful and well-architected builder WordPress has ever had. Once you truly understand how it is intended to work — especially together with custom themes, patterns, theme.json, and custom blocks — it becomes incredibly powerful, clean, scalable, and future-proof. Yes, development can initially take longer compared to visual page builders, especially when building things properly with a custom setup. But after getting used to the workflow, it honestly feels like the best long-term approach for professional WordPress development. I also understand many of the negative reviews now, because I used to share the same opinion before I actually learned and understood Gutenberg properly. In my opinion, most criticism comes from comparing it to page builders without fully embracing the modern block-based development approach. Excellent work by the Gutenberg team. The direction WordPress is taking with blocks and full site editing is genuinely impressive.

I think the bad reviews are from people who don’t know how to use it or try using Full Site Editing. The best approach is to keep Gutenberg for page/post content using blocks and also use theme.json to define design tokens that can be reused in your theme and blocks for consistency. You can keep using PHP for everything else. It’s so much better than Elementor or the horrific mess that Divi is.
